Any aohell users out there?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

For some reason I can't post to the bbs from my pc. Worked fine yesterday morning. In the afternoon suddenly greenspun started spitting out an error message giving various reasons as to why it wouldnt' allow my post. Such as the email address wasn't formatted properly, or I was an aol user. Also, my name and address were no longer appearing on the reply. Same problem in both Netscape and IE. I flushed the cache, deleted cookies, and still nothing.

Weird thing is I have no problems posting from my laptop...which also uses aohell as my isp. Sooo...dunno if it's aohell or slightly older version of netscape(4.06 on the pc vs 4.73 on the laptop). And no idea why IE is freaking out since I rarely use it.

Anyone have similar problems, or any ideas? I'm going to try downloading an updated version of netscape later tonight and see if that helps.

Are you mailing through Internet or using AOL's own software (v5 I think is the latest)?

99% of the time I use Netscape for browsing(and posting to this bbs). Only switch to IE when Netscape seems to be causing problems. Never ever use the bastardized version of IE on aohell. *ptuh* ;-)
